A method performed by a transmitter in a wireless local area network (WLAN) is provided. The method comprises: setting a second parameter in a second frame based on a first puncturing pattern indicated by a first parameter in a first frame for a basic service set (BSS) set up by an access point (AP); and transmitting, to a receiver, the second frame, wherein the first puncturing pattern is one of a plurality of puncturing patterns pre-determined for a third parameter in a third frame.
1. A method performed by a transmitter in a wireless local area network (WLAN), the method comprising:
setting a parameter based on a disabled subchannel bitmap included in an operation element included in a first frame;
determining a preamble puncturing pattern for a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) based on a transmission type of the PPDU to be transmitted and the parameter; and
transmitting, to a receiver, the PPDU with the determined preamble puncturing pattern,
wherein when the transmission type of the PPDU is non-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (non-OFDMA) transmission, the determined preamble puncturing pattern for the PPDU is one of a set of puncturing patterns pre-determined for non-OFDMA transmission,
when the transmission type of the PPDU is orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA) transmission, the determined preamble puncturing pattern for the PPDU is one of a set of puncturing patterns pre-determined for OFDMA transmission, and p 1 the set of puncturing patterns pre-determined for non-OFDMA transmission is different from the set of puncturing patterns pre-determined for OFDMA transmission,
wherein the parameter is INACTIVE_SUBCHANNELS, and
wherein the determined preamble puncturing pattern indicates punctured subchannels including one or more subchannels in addition to one or more subchannels indicated in the disabled subchannel bitmap.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the management frame is a beacon frame.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a puncturing pattern indicated in the disabled subchannel bitmap is one of a set of puncturing patterns pre-determined for a universal signal (U-SIG) field for an extreme high throughput (EHT) multi-user (MU) PPDU using non-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (non-OFDMA) transmission.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the puncturing pattern indicated in the disabled subchannel bitmap is most recently exchanged puncturing pattern.

transmitting, to a receiver, the PPDU with the determined preamble puncturing pattern,
wherein when the transmission type of the PPDU is non-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (non-OFDMA) transmission, the determined preamble puncturing pattern for the PPDU is one of a set of puncturing patterns pre-determined for non-OFDMA transmission,
when the transmission type of the PPDU is orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA) transmission, the determined preamble puncturing pattern for the PPDU is one of a set of puncturing patterns pre-determined for OFDMA transmission, and
the set of puncturing patterns pre-determined for non-OFDMA transmission is different from the set of puncturing patterns pre-determined for OFDMA transmission,
wherein the parameter is INACTIVE_SUBCHANNELS, and
